In general, a personal loan contract is just as legally binding between friends or family as it would be with a bank. However, a contract between friends or family might be simpler or have fewer terms. Each agreement, though, is likely to have the same main provisions.

The IRS mandates that any loan between family members be made with a signed written agreement, a fixed repayment schedule, and a minimum interest rate. (The IRS publishes Applicable Federal Rates (AFRs) monthly.)

If you loan a significant amount of money to your kids ? over $10,000 ? you should consider charging interest. If you don't, the IRS can say the interest you should have charged was a gift. In that case, the interest money goes toward your annual gift-giving limit of $17,000 per individual (as of tax year 2023).
